Could anyone answer me one question? I played the Beta on the 360 and it was great. I noticed the 4 player splitscreen shots that were posted and how they all say Sign In.

Does this mean, finally, we can take 4 players online on a single system into a match with 14 others in CoD4?

That's one thing I hated about the awesome Resistance, 1 player per console online. Or is 4 players limited only to single console deathmatch? Thanks to anyone who knows, and thanks for posting the pics!

Yes I think you can add 3 guest players to play with you. Although was this Online or offline?

I know there's clan tags & parties, but is there any indication that there's a friends/clan list with status (offline, online, in game)?

The only indication is that there is an "Invite Friends" tab when you're in your party... see above pics...

But we don't know if that means "new" friends you make within CoD... or your PSN list... Some games have one or the other... some have both (I like when it is both considering the PSN 50 friend limit).

Also, we don't know if you can send messages to people not currently playing CoD4 (ie offline, in their XMB or on another game). Some games let you send messages out side of the game and then you can launch and join that invite... Others, the players need to be logged into that games servers to use messaging.

As for the Clan Tags... in the 360 beta, all it meant was a tag... there didn't seem to be a clan homepage where you could invite people or leave messages for your clan.. .assign ranks... anything like that... It looks like all they have is the ability to add a clan tag after you've leveled up a bit... But anyone could add any tag... so it isn't like having a connected clan within that game.

That kinda sucks. It wouldnt' be too hard to implement clans itself. it would just be a separate "friends" list in game. So basically 2 friends lists, except one is for clan support (of course with the normal features of a clan like clan leaders)

Well it appears that the maps for all versions (PC included) are designed for 18... but there's no limit for the PCs with the dedicated servers (as stated by an IW developer in a video interview)...

So IF the PS3 uses dedicated servers, it could be possible that, depending on bandwidth, you could go higher than the 18 limit just like the PS3... But we've seen nothing yet that says either console will be able to exceed the stated 18.

Is this a title I have to preorder or wait in line for at 9AM in the morning at Best Buy/Futureshop? Sorry for my ignorance but I'm not a gamer and this seems to be a must buy game for everyone. Before I had a PS3, I remember when big titles came out, the stores would advertise to pre-order to reserve your copy (I didn't understand what the big fuss was about at the time...do games really sell out?). They do this for DVDs all the time but you know the stores have a gazillion copies and I've never seen a DVD sold out before. I'm hoping to just be able to walk into one of those stores on opening day and pick one up but if its better to pre-order, I will.

I think you'll be safe finding a copy at walmart without pre-ordering. It seems people forget about walmart, and they also generally order the most copies.
